New craft table

ok, I got it, I just love it. my craft table. I know I have had it for a month or so now, but I have been busy quilting and doing homework for school. ok, all of you that told me that I should not get this table because it will be filled up quickly, you are alllll right, it is filled. I will take some pics here and post them. I have almost finished my son's 2nd quilt. I just need to put the 2-borders and binding on and then I am going to give quilting a try on my machine. I have started another quilt, it is with thangles. 2-inch finished size. also I went to the International Quilt Fest in Rosemont, Ill and that was just great. I got 5-yards of fabric(kit) with 4 different patterns. just love it. I can make 4 different twin size quilts. while I was there, I just kept seeing these small squares,triangles(about 1-inch in size). well, I got the 1-inch finished size thangles and will be making another quilt with those. When I went to my local quilt shop, I got a charm pack and started making 1/2-triangles, I put them together, and then I realized that I need more, so I went back to the shop and got another charm pack. I still don't know what kind of quilt the charm pack fabric will be yet. Ok, I have that bug, that quilting bug or should I say that I start a project and don't finish it but start another one bug:) I am going to be doing a quilt for my brother. He is going to pick out the fabrics(all 15 of them). I am going to be doing a quilt like the jewel box-similar to that. Some of my quilting friends are at retreat now, I told them that I am going with them next year. I can't wait.
Ok, now time to go and start something, just don't know what yet, I think it will be quilting:)
have fun in what ever you do.
